Devil Weed
Cheyenne dopers will still need to drive an extra 25 miles to buy their weed after the residents of Nunn, CO, population +/- 600 voted against allowing “Dispensaries” in their town, just 31 miles from the Wyoming border.
Too bad, as Nunn will remain a speed trap with 40% of the town’s revenue coming from the four person police force writing tickets. (I have contributed)
Nielsen Ratings
Despite not owning a television for several years, they still send me surveys. Since they pay $2 to $5 for my opinion, I participate.
September 15, Platteville, CO made the news when a Union Pacific freight hit a Platteville Police car parked on the railroad tracks with a prisoner inside. The woman survived despite severe injuries.
The Weld County Prosecutor has now filed charges against some of the officers involved. Interestingly, the office is not dropping charges against the woman who was being detained for a road rage incident where she allegedly pointed a firearm at another motorist. A firearm was found in her vehicle.
Many comments and YouTube postings are out there. The first Sunday after the incident, our usual suspects were having Sunday breakfast at the VFW, when one of my sister’s “daughters”, a retired Weld County LEO, expressed disbelief.
My sister explained, “Ft Lupton police were involved”. The retired LEO simply nodded her head. Draw your own conclusions.
Colorado Mid-Terms
Votes are still being counted but the state has stayed firmly blue. Hard to beat cubic money and the GOP was outspent by a huge margin. At this point I’m beyond caring.
KIA Sorento
My sister now has a 2023 to replace her worn out 2004 or so Sorento. I’m happy for her as her work requires reliability and AWD when she is called out for truck wrecks in Wyoming. This Sorento is an upgrade model with all kinds of features.
Recently she had a four day East Coast trip and had me ride with her to DIA and keep the Kia until her return. After returning home, I parked it and didn’t drive it again until I went back to DIA to pick her up. The vehicle is fantastic but isn’t for me.
This Latter Day Luddite is retired from the car biz and has no reason to learn twenty+ functions. Isn’t today, per a Falsebook posting, Grumpy Old Balding Fat Man Day? I certainly qualify.
As always, YMMV.

The number of out-of-state plates I see on cars parked at dispensaries is amazing. Mostly Wyoming, but some Nebraska plates, too.

1950's through 1970's Harry Hoffman Liquor store on Broadway and 17th in Denver was known for low prices. The number of out of state customers was enormous. A woman whose living quarters had a good view made a living recording plates and making phone calls to Nebraska, Wyoming, and Kansas authorities. The now defunct Rocky Mountain News did a report on her activities.
Rumors about that happening in Evanston, WY during the decades Utah had weird liquor laws and state owned and operated stores - no private businesses - were widely believed.
I had a boss who made a monthly trip to Wendover, NV just to buy his booze.
I wonder if there aren't hidden surveillance cameras with internet connections at some of these dispensaries?
Thanks for keeping it real, WSF

Thank you for the compliment.
Stoners, in my own personal experience, drive slower than the speed limit.
Much slower.
Infuriatingly slower.
I know I did.

Video of stoners sighting at a stop sign waiting for the sign to turn green is probably close to being true.

And thanks for your and your son's service. You're right, hard to beat square $$$ of 'input'...

And thank you for yours. I'm not feeling much enthusiasm on this day this year. Doubts as to it being a worthwhile contribution.
On "The Five" last night Dana Perino commented "Nancy Pelosi could raise $250,000 in a few minutes".
The idea that there are George Soros's out there with that kind of money (and anti-American values) makes me sick to my stomach.

Their money and our apathy - formula for slavery.
Apathy... yeah, or simply inertia.
But our compassion for others is killing us.
We cannot "Mother" the entire world.
What this election showed is that the Democrats are SO horrible at selecting candidates like Fetterman and that the democrats will vote for anyone as long as it is a democrat, even if it’s Fetterman... Just like what happened when Biden picked Kamala Harris. .
But it also means that they have to deal with the consequences of having an INCOMPETENT administration that is only interested in their Socialist agenda and Americans be Damned.

Their incompetent administration will cost all of us. I see nothing but disasters in the future.
Good luck with that KIA and I'm with you. So much surplus gadgetry/functions, just more to go wrong. I'm not too happy, even, with my truck having electric windows. Hmmmm.
And yes, no TV either.

Sisty is tech savvy and enjoys pointing out how out of date her brother is.
